About This Item
Used; Like New/Used; Like New. Sammelband containing 8 pieces of printed music for piano 4 hands, including first editions of works by Schumann, Gade and Schulhoff and early editions by Schubert and Mendelssohn. Of particular rarity and interest is the first edition arrangement of the Piano Quintet of Robert Schumann by his wife, the virtuoso pianist and composer Clara Schumann. In a letter to publisher Hermann Härtel (October 25, 2857), she writes: "I had mentioned to you once before that I wanted to simplify the arrangement of my husband's quintet. I have done so now and it cost me no little effort to do it without doing any harm to the composition. Happily, I believe that I have succeeded - I have played it myself with several people and nobody found it difficult. Would you like to have a look at it now or have some competent players play it for you, or would you rather wait until I myself come and then play it for you with somebody?" (Steegman, 173). Upright folio, bound volume measuring 13 x 10 inches (33 x 27 cm). "Vierhändig / 3." to front board. Black paper boards over dark green cloth, binding heavily scratched and worn, with frayed ends and split to front board seam. Handwritten Contents sheet bound in, 1-150 hand-numbered along top edge of all included works, bound in the following order. Scattered foxing throughout, some staining particularly to the upper right corner and outer edge of the first two and last 3 works, generally very good throughout.
